Python library for comparing the distance between two or more sequences by many algorithms. For main algorithms, text distance try to call known external libraries (fastest first) if available (installed in your system) and possible (this implementation can compare this type of sequences). Install text distance with extras for this feature. Textdistance use benchmark results for algorithm optimization and try to call the fastest external lib first (if possible). TextDistance show benchmarks results table for your system and saves libraries priorities into the libraries.json file in TextDistance's folder. This file will be used by text distance for calling the fastest algorithm implementation. Default libraries.json is already included in the package.

Features

  • 30+ algorithms
  • Pure python implementation
  • Simple usage
  • More than two sequences comparing
  • Some algorithms have more than one implementation in one class.
  • Optional numpy usage for maximum speed.
